Grew up on a hearty helping of both hair metal and folk rock. So, as a creature of my influences I tend to write heartfelt lyrics and start the writing process
Diverse, in a typical gig, you'd hear covers of bob dylan, neil young, and originals in the same vein, for instance, "Let it Rain" or "Once Upon A Sunset" and then you'd hear covers by Velvet Revolver and Bon Jovi, and originals of the like, eg. "Minion of Thor", and "Heaven's Getting Closer." Anywhere from socially conscience, to tongue in cheeck, straight up rock and roll.

Story behind the song
Well, this song takes me back to May/05, I was in school on the weekend preceding "Many Moods of Music" and our band wasn't rehearsing at the time, so a sat in this little corner at the bottom of the stairs leading up to the instrumental room, and penned the lyrics and wrote the music for it in about an hour. *Note, the key change at the end actually came about later on, and originally when I wrote it I was listening to "Plastic Jesus" by Billy Idol a lot, so the feel was inspired by that.
Lyrics
V.1 I was a diamond in the ruff But you saw through the harsh exterior I know at times you've had enough But to my heart you've never been dearer Bridge: I know we've had our problems in the past But you and I, we were meant to last Chorus: I'll buy you diamonds Like the one you found in me And my life is heightened Everytime you open up to me And I'll give the clouds to you Like the one you put me on everyday And I'll make this vow to you That I'll never take the easy 'Cause this diamond in the ruff Found his rose that'll grow with time V.2 You were a rose about to bloom I knew just from the passion in your eyes I know someday I'll be your groom And someday you'll be my bride Bridge: I know made this far with pain But you and I, we were meant to sustain Chorus: I'll buy you diamonds Like the one you found in me And my life is heightened Everytime you open up to me And I'll give the clouds to you Like the one you put me on everyday And I'll make this vow to you That I'll never take the easy 'Cause this diamond in the ruff Found his rose that'll grow with time (Solo) Refrain: I was a diamond in the ruff You were a rose about to bloom I'll buy you diamonds... Chorus: I'll buy you diamonds Like the one you found in me And my life is heightened Everytime you open up to me And I'll give the clouds to you Like the one you put me on everyday And I'll make this vow to you That I'll never take the easy 'Cause this diamond in the ruff Found his rose that'll grow with time
